player names not showing

[uberMcLovin 10]

IN COOP:

Is there a way to see the other players name on your team? as a beacon, or icon or something in the terrain?

ok were playing arrowhead on the hardest mode, but..... is it possible? or do the names show in an easier mode? we want the game to be hard, it would just be very handy to see the other player,, if not ingame with player nametag, atleast on the map :)

if not possible to see the other player, how do u other people navigate?getting players coords? im new hehehehe

Teamspeak.

"hey mate, what is your location?"

"I'm right 20 meters west of your position, covering your left flank. Move on, mate, i'll keep your flank clear."

"rgr mate, movin on."

Use the search Luke use the search..... For real tho you need to use search before posting (forum rule).

FAQ is also there for a reason.

Depending on the mission there might be an option on the player select screen for the names. You can also manually edit the mission to give you this also.

Enable friendly tags in the server's difficulty settings. Or simply learn your friends' faces, unit models and weapons.

There is also the ShackTac Fireteam HUD which places a hud bottem center your screen and you only see

your fireteam members relative to you. the catch is for this hud to show up they need to be on your team or you on theirs.

If you know how to edit missions, you could take the doounitmarkers -script from Doolittle's Example Scripts http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8506 and put it in the mission. It shows icons on the map where the playable units are. Thought it doesnt show player names, but with very little script editing that can be achieved as well.
